She headed into an isle, hoping to look for some kind of figurine to uphold for her nightstand. She figured that it'd create a sort of "cozy-comfortable" aura.

It was a bright and sunny day, Apollo must've gone to that band he really liked, Edmund guessed. It was so contradictory to his mood; all whiny and annoyed. He was given camp store duty for a month, because one: He was really good at sales and accounts, and two, he may have shown some sass to Psyche, and got her mad. He couldn't control it! Psyche had asked how her new dress fit her, and Edmund simply said, "Why? It's not like you're getting out of here for another hundred years." Boom, a month of camp store duty. I mean, he's not wrong-
Anyways, he straightened up when he saw a customer. He might as well do his job well, than land another month of this mind dimming work. He should be out there building stuff, talking about strategies, philosophy; anything was better than this.

Edmund sighed, watching the girl take her sweet time. He walked over, "Decided on something?" He looked at the figurine she was holding, "That is a good choice, if you're looking for something to put in your cabin, dressing table or nightstand, I presume?" He asked politely, stuffing his hands in his pant pockets.
He turned to Zaxck, "Hello there." He greeted politely to the main guy who runs the store. Edmund had to make sure to get on the guys good side, so he doesn't land in more time working here.
(Not permanently, just helping out cause Psyche posted him there for a month.)

Edmund nodded, "That's me. I didn't see you around, and Psyche told me to start immediately, so." He had seen him a few times, when he had come to the store for some bird seeds for his little sparrow friend, but that was it.

Edmund sighed, feeling really embarrassed. He should've known, everything was put in the accounts, number one rule of accounting stuff- how could he forget?
"That's right. For the, uh....the Demeter kids! They needed it for some weird reason I know nothing about." He lied smoothly, grinning awkwardly.

He says going into the back and comes out with a orange t shirt almost stock standard but it has a map on the back showing the camp “you need to wear this”

Edmund really didn't like the idea of wearing this boring orange t-shirt. Wasn't there a nice silver, or a black? Why orange? He thought as he sighed, grabbing the shirt.
He noticed the figurine was left in its original position. "...she doesn't want it.?... huh." He looked around, too see the girl, peeking at them, just from another isle. "Oh, there she is." Ed mumbled, turning to Zaxck, "I'll just put this on and be back to help her. Be back in a jiffy." He said as he walked to the back, still not liking that orangyess of the camp t shirt.

It had been a long time since she had come to the camp store, April had decided as she silently entered the store. Usually, seeing some nice, pretty things made her mood better by tenfolds, so she was going to try that- a thing all Aphrodite children could agree about. It wasn't her usual gucci store, but this was more than enough for the desperate girl.
She smiled, her fingers touching figurines one by one as she brushed her fingers on them, walking through the isle slowly. Her feet stopped moving at a certain figurine she came across. It was a very pretty thing, a model of the ocean waves, bright colours and all. The finger resting on it quickly retreated back, as she stared at it- that clearly fake and act of a smile she was putting on slowly disappearing, as the figurine reminded her of the incidences that haunted her.
What was weird about this time, was that it also brought light to another new incident as well. April looked at the shoes she was wearing, her eyes stinging, her throat so dry she couldn't swallow.
His handsome face, his gorgeous eyes, his loveable smile, it played over and over in her head. Her heart felt so heavy, as if it could almost drag her down to the ground and even lower if she gave in, even a little bit. She gently placed her hand on something steady- a knot of emotions washing over her- fear, horror, guilt.

"You can't cry over this- not after you were the one who walked away." She mumbled to herself once she came to her senses.
She was horrified of Poseidon and everything about him, and her irrational fear was nothing she could control. From everything to nothing- she was still scaping together a life for herself; a life at camp half blood. She was just too afraid to throw it all away, in fear that Poseidon would do something to her- and to him.
But her heart was not something she could ever control. Even if she feigned ignorance, she knew she liked August- she liked him so much. No amount of words could ever express how much she wanted to be with him, talk to him, laugh with him, love him.
But what's the use now. The bridge they built- she burnt it, broke it into so many pieces. It can't be fixed now, and she forced herself to believe it was better this way. He wont get in his fathers bad side, and both of them would be safe. Her shaking hands touched the figurine one last time, before turning to leave. This trip wasn't doing her any good anyways. Thats when she saw him. For the first time in so so many days.
Her eyes widened- her skin paler than it already was, her heart fluttering as if on cue. The sound of glass crashing on the ground, the deafening sound of its shattering bringing her back from everything she was feeling. She felt his eyes on him, and all those complicated emotions were thrown back at her, like a brick to her face.
April moved a step back as she heard him call her name. Turning the other way, she already felt her eyes burn, walking away quickly, aiming to reach the door before he could catch her.
{Hmmm....any idea how you want to like go forward in the next few messages? Cause I've got an idea to keep them in the same room XDD}

As she tried to escape, one of the store handlers stopped her. She looked at him in disbelief, though her vision was a little blurry. She wanted to run away, away from her problems, away from her fears- everything. "B-but i-" she tried to say something but she kept quiet.
She couldve paid for everything to be replaced. But ahe had heard from her friend that there would be no replacements, so there was no other choice. She had to help August fix them all.
April's head shot up when he called her, feeling even more worse seeing him so sad- so broken, so different from that charming charismatic guy she met that day. Hearing him say sorry made her feel like she didnt even deserve to live for causing such sadness. "D-dont say s-sorry." she said softly, not even able to look at him in the eye.
She didnt know what to do. She felt so guilty she wanted to hug him and beg him for forgiveness and pray that he would still atleast be friends with her after all this.
Part of her was still so horrified she wanted to run away. Who knows what Poseidon would do? He was notorious for his anger issues, and it was his anger issues which lost her whole family, including her baby sister.

April didn't dare look at him either, her fingers twitching from nervousness. If only she wasn't scared. If only.
She nodded softly at his suggestion. "Be careful you'll hurt yourself." She said out frantically moving a step closer unconciously as he kneeled to pick up figurine with its top part missing, probably shattered to peices like the rest of it.
Her eyes were on his, worried, but a few seconds later it dawned on her how they were now. She silently moved a step back, looking at the ground, as if nothing happened.
"I'll go get the figurines then and get to work setting the things up." She said softly, walking to the back without another word. Why is life always so hard?
![Rose [fifty shades of tiredness]](https://images.gr-assets.com/users/1714721772p1/125045234.jpg)
April on the other hand, just watched August. The supplies were put out, everything was ready to get painting. She watched his back, even though it was silent in the room she was in, her mind was anything but.
She couldnt help but think, what would it be like if she wasn't bound by the ropes of her past. That night at the campfire would've went amazing. She would've spent that night thinking of every diologue they shared, replaying each beautiful scene from that day, instead of spending a sleepless night, crying her eyes out as those horrible nightmares resurfaced after being shut for so long.
They would've been so much closer.
April wondered what would happen if she came clean. It could've solved everything. But... she can't. Those nightmares of hers were hidden by her for more than 5 years. She never told it to anyone! How was she going to find the courage to do that, especially to August? Sometimes fear was much powerful catalyst than bravery.
She watched him with tearful eyes, but it was not long before she shoved her fists to rub those tears off. 'Mother, give me courage. A-atleast till i tell him. I-i still dont know how'd he react to all this. P-poseidon is still his father.' She prayed to her mother softly, feeling her insides crumble bit by bit. She was so so scared, scared to face this.
But- it was obvious. There was only way out of this. There was only one way to salvage this- Telling the truth.

“It is I’m joking kid.”
